HCAHPS [Hospital Customer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems], patient safety initiatives Seek additional collaboration with other organizations to develop quality measures 2 1

2 Quality Strategy Implementation Accomplishments and Next Steps Developing malnutrition electronic clinical quality measures (ecqms) for inclusion in CMS quality programs 2013 Proposal and approval to develop quality measures 2014 Established as a measure steward with NQF 2015 Established Collaborations to develop and test ecqms 2016 Submit ecqms to CMS and NQF 2017 Target for inclusion in CMS Quality Program Project support provided by Abbott and Avalere Health 3 Today s Discussion on Malnutrition Quality Improvement Initiative (MQii) Overview MQii Toolkit and Learning Collaborative Malnutrition Composite Measure Advocacy, Engagement, Communication 4 2

3 Malnutrition Reduces Overall Health and Contributes to Increased Readmission Rates MALNUTRITION HAS AN IMPACT ON PATIENT RECOVERY AND METRICS SUCH AS READMISSIONS AND MORTALITY Malnutrition-associated outcomes include depression of the immune system, impaired wound healing, and muscle wasting 1 Leads to higher readmissions rate 1 relative to well-nourished patients and increased mortality 2 1 Alliance to Advance Patient Nutrition Staff. The Facts on Malnutrition: What every health care professional needs to know now about patient nutrition. Alliance to Advance Patient Nutrition. Available at: Published Accessed February 3, Barker LA, Gout BS, and Crowe TC. Hospital malnutrition: Prevalence, identification, and impact on patients and the healthcare system. Int J of Environ Res and Public Health. 2011;8: Malnutrition is a Quality Issue Lack of consistent screening with a validated tool Lack of diagnosis compared to published estimates of prevalence Lack of treatment of those identified as malnourished Lack of monitoring of status = poor quality care 6 3

4 What Does it Take to Develop a Quality Measure? 7 This is an Example of the Main Title of a Presentation: Malnutrition Quality Improvement Initiative MQii And This is Where the Subtitle Would Appear with More Info Overview 4

5 What is the Malnutrition Quality Improvement Initiative (MQii)? MQii Objectives Advance adoption of malnutrition electronic clinical quality measures (ecqms) that matter Improve effectiveness and timeliness of malnutrition care through an interdisciplinary toolkit Support availability of tools that can be integrated into EHR systems to improve care quality The MQii is focused on older adults (ages 65 and older) given the significant impact malnutrition has on this patient population and the opportunity to improve care among these patients 9 The MQii Offers a Solution to Enhance the Quality of Malnutrition Care Malnutrition Care Workflow Screening* Nutrition screening using a validated tool for all patients with a hospital admission Assessment* Nutrition assessment using a standardized tool for all patients identified as atrisk for malnutrition Diagnosis* Documentation of nutrition diagnosis for all patients identified as malnourished Care Plan Development* Establishment of a nutrition care plan for all patients identified as malnourished or at-risk for malnutrition Intervention Monitoring/ Implementation Implementation of a nutrition care plan including treatment for all patients identified as malnourished or atrisk for malnutrition Evaluation & Discharge Planning Implementation of processes, including discharge planning, that provide ongoing monitoring and support the care of patients identified as malnourished or at-risk for malnutrition The MQii is based on patient-driven nutrition practices that include patient preferences and risk factors *These steps in the care workflow have an ecqm associated with them. 10 5

6 The MQii Provides Tools to Achieve Care Goals The MQii Toolkit provides practical resources to enable hospitals to achieve optimal nutrition standards of care MQii Toolkit Implementation GOAL: Achieve Malnutrition Standards of Care MQii ecqm Adoption Data reported from ecqms will help hospitals demonstrate if and by how much they are successful in meeting the standards of care 11 Malnutrition Electronic Clinical Quality Measures (ecqms) NQF #3087 / MUC16-294: Completion of a Malnutrition Screening within 24 Hours of Admission NQF #3088 / MUC16-296: Completion of a Nutrition Assessment for Patients Identified as At-Risk for Malnutrition within 24 Hours of a Malnutrition Screening NQF #3089 / MUC16-372: Nutrition Care Plan for Patients Identified as Malnourished After a Completed Nutrition Assessment NQF #3090 / MUC16-344: Appropriate Documentation of a Malnutrition Diagnosis *Measures were submitted to the National Quality Forum (NQF) for potential endorsement and to CMS for adoption into the HIQR Hospital Inpatient Quality Reporting For more information: and
